Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Enzo Duardo made the kick off which started today's match. Ricardo Laurgain sent away a hard shot on goal in the 5th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Rosendo Fraco took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Jeronimo Ondino, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After 17 minutes of play, Croacia Fc's Jeronimo Ondino made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Rosendo Fraco was left in no man's land by his defense there! Croacia Fc's Cornelio Eriz got a good chance for a goal in the 25th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. In the 26thth minute of the game Jeronimo Ondino who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Puntilla's Rosendo Fraco was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. If Jeronimo Ondino had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 34th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Rosendo Fraco didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Cornelio Eriz went, in the 42nd minute, to the upper right corner, 0-3 was the resulting score. The Puntilla players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Croacia Fc were winning 0-3.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Cornelio Eriz to strike the kick off in the second half. Americo Tipi struck a weak shot in the 51st minute. Rosendo Fraco didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Croacia Fc. Croacia Fc's Hernan Arano played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Enzo Duardo in the 57th minute of play. Puntilla's Rosendo Fraco proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 61st minute of the match, managed to save Puntilla from getting a goal against them. In the 64th minute of the match, Jeronimo Ondino got a very nice opportunity to score, but Rosendo Fraco was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post. If Jeronimo Ondino had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 69th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Cornelio Eriz received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Rosendo Fraco came out and tried to block the shot, but Cornelio Eriz slotted it home off the left post making it 0-4 in the 70th minute. After a defensive mix-up in Puntilla's zone, Jeronimo Ondino stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Rosendo Fraco came out of the goal and Jeronimo Ondino tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 83 minutes into the match, Croacia Fc's goal looked a bit too open when Enzo Duardo came free, but Hernan Arano reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 85th minute, Cornelio Eriz fired away a shot on goal. He put a little to much spin on the ball and sent it just wide of the right post. 86 minutes into the match, Puntilla's goalkeeper Rosendo Fraco had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Jeronimo Ondino. An unexpectedly hard shot by Cornelio Eriz in the 88th minute of play forced Puntilla's goalkeeper Rosendo Fraco to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Enzo Duardo fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 95th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Hernan Arano having to interfere. The Croacia Fc supporters could be heard counting down the last seconds of the match. They errupted in celebration when the whistle blew, knowing Croacia Fc would go home with victory in their luggage after a match that easily could have ended differently.
